00:00 There was a time in Minnesota where during practice Tajay stepped up and
00:06 Met a linebacker right in the hole
00:09 Just from the different looks that they gave us and
00:13 Pointed it out to the team. The defensive guys were like, oh you kind of hear him talking and that was the reaction
00:20 I kind of expected
00:21 When I showed the tape when we played to the team, they were knowing that the offensive players would have seen it or had seen it
00:28 But the defensive players did and I said that's the way that a young running back earns respect as teammates
00:34 Is that they are able to protect the guy with the ball and not just do what they do with the ball
00:40 You've seen examples of him
00:42 You know make a play with the football in his hand, but it's how you play
00:46 Without the football that I think really guys appreciate or certainly I appreciate
